Get More Balance Into My Life?

• What are you saying lately?
• Recipe for a balanced life
• Why Create-a-Life?

  Lately, do you find yourself saying things like this?

• “There just aren’t enough hours in a day.”
• “I spend most of my time thinking about everyone else.”
• “I never have enough time for me.”
• “I never seem to be able to ‘switch off’ at night”.
• “I’ve just got so much on my plate right now.”

Perhaps you are a caring, unselfish person to whom everyone else comes for help. Perhaps you always put the needs of others first—your family, your friends, your business colleagues. Perhaps you have difficulty saying “no” when asked to do a personal favour or to take on a new task at work. Perhaps you are the kind of person people call a “workaholic” or a “fulltime parent”. Perhaps you are really happy with your job, your marriage or your family, but one of them dominates your life at the expense of other important things.

Or perhaps, quite simply, you feel you don’t have a life!

Recipe for a balanced life

If you have ever been on a crowded London underground during rush hour, you know what it means to “balance”. You are standing in the middle of a crowd of people, straining to reach the nearest handgrip or pole for support. As the train starts and stops, and turns left and right, you constantly have to readjust your weight ever so slightly, this way and that, in order to stay standing. If you stayed in one position, you would simply fall down into everyone else.

Having a balanced life is like this. Sometimes there are things in our life that will compel us to shift in one direction or the other in order to ensure that we stay on our own two feet. The problem is, sometimes we allow those things to pull us too far in one direction, and it becomes a permanent state from which we find it difficult to recover. We develop patterns of behaviour that we hardly even notice, and we get used to living without important values in our lives. Inside, we know that something is wrong, but we find it difficult to figure out how to change it, because we are so used to living like this.

How can Create-a-Life help?

The focus of coaching is to increase your self-awareness. Frequently, we are not even aware that things are piling up on us until it reaches boiling point. At Create-a-Life we help you recognise when things are out of balance in your life, as recognising them is half the battle. We do this by teaching you how to separate the issues, and identify different perspectives. You also learn how to recognise the “gremlins”* that hold you back from correcting problems or moving forward. Once you get skilled at recognising your own balancing act, we give you strategies for putting them right, so that you are consciously making choices that serve your whole life, instead of portions of your life running you.

*For those of you new to “gremlins”, why not sign up for our FREE teleseminar “The Art of Gremlin Busting”
for ready-to-use tips on how to put balance back into your life right now.
